**Giveaway now closed**
I showed you this lovely stack of fabric a while ago and now it has become this...
A Giant Chevron Quilt using the fantastic new pattern by Jess at The Eleven Garden.
I used rainbow colours from my stash and a range of low volume prints.
I did straight line quilting with Aurifil 50wt 2610, a nice light grey. For the backing I used a lilac vintage sheet.
The binding is a great print from Modern Yardage, the fabric is so soft and easy to work with.
This quilt is a gift for a friend, a check off my FAL list and one of my Making Christmas goals!
I was testing the lap quilt pattern so this is what it looked like at that size but I added extra rows to make it into a giant bed size quilt (my friend and her husband are both really tall!)
Luckily Jess has done all the hard work and the pattern includes three sizes: baby, lap and twin size. It also has a blank colouring page so you can plan your layout, very helpful!
Jess is kindly letting me give away 2 copies of the pattern to 2 lucky winners!
You each have two chances to win (please leave a separate comment for each entry):

That turned out gorgeous! I would make a queen sized one for my bed with Glimma (my latest obsession).
I think I'd like to make the lap size! I might use my Lucky Penny Stash, too.

Fabulous!
My son would love a rainbow version of this - but I really need more LV fabrics first!
What a beautiful quilt, you have one very lucky friend. I would probably make a baby quilt for my brand new nephew. I would love to try this in either neutrals or a selection of fabrics in nice citrus shades.
Love the rainbow idea...but would probably make a baby version from a variety of kiddy prints in my stash!
Oooh, this is absolutely lovely! Hmmmm...if I were to make it, I'd probably go baby quilt size, because it looks like a fun baby quilt, and maybe in rainbow too because how can you beat rainbow???
Oh wow. I would love to make a quilt for me on my couch. To snuggle up with!
Oh my goodness, I absolute LUV!!! this quilt! Your colors are gorgeous---I would love to try the pattern out in twin using my scrappy stash. :)
This is great! I can see me making both the baby and the lap....very versatile!
I shared on my AQT fb page!
I love your rainbow Chevron quilt. I'd make a lap quilt & I'd make mine a scrappy value quilt. Thanks for sharing & the chance to win.
I love the colors you used for your giant chevron. I am a rainbow colors person and have made Christa's Charming Chevron in rainbow colors and a wonky log cabin in rainbows for my granddaughter. I would make this a rainbow quilt from my stash and use the low volume background like you did. Beautiful. Thanks for a chance to win the pattern and thanks for sharing your beauty.
This is awesome! I think it would make the perfect baby quilt - I love finding patterns that are charm pack friendly. Maybe a little Noteworthy?
Oh wow! What a cool idea! This would be a perfect pattern form my pile of scrappy rainbow charms in a small child's version. Loving it!
Super neat quilt. I think I would probably make the lap quilt size.
I think I'd make the lap quilt. Thank you for the chance to win, it's a beautiful design.
That turned out lovely. I would probably start small...HST's are not my favorite thing. =) Thanks for a chance to win.
Following your blog on Bloglovin and will pin to pinterest.
I would probably make a baby quilt - I would need practice to get all my points correct! Looks lovely by the way!
that quilt is gorgeous! I'd use the same colour scheme as you as I love rainbow quilts, but I'd probably only make a small one as I'm a newbie
I would probably go on a lap-quilt making frenzy - I have a ton of charm packs to use up and I have a feeling some of them would be perfect for this :) Thanks for the chance!

I'd do lap size, just for snuggling on the couch!
I pinned your giveaway on Pinterest.
super cute pattern -- I would love to make it in a lap size or baby size
Lovely quilt Lucy, love the colours! Lap size I think!
I think this would make a cute baby quilt. I like the rainbow fabrics too.
I would make the lap size for my nephew. I would use different shades of blue and maybe grey

I would make a lap quilt for me as the nights are getting colder and I love rainbows.
I tweeted....using your handy little tweet icon!
I would make a twin size for a great nephew.
I think I would make the lap or twin size. I love the rainbow colors you did, but I think I might have to do one in shades of black, grey and red. Don't know why, but those are the colors appealing to me right now.
This looks like one of those patterns where you start making a lap quilt, but end up with a bigger one, because you like the pattern so much...
Fabulous quilt Lucy, love the colours
I have some Liberty Lifestyle fat eighths that would be ideal for this pattern.
Tweeted about this giveaway.
Very cute. I would love to make it with Midwinter Reds.
My first thought was how striking it would be if it were done in Kaffe prints, but I also like Happy Cottage Quilter's idea of using Midwinter Reds.

Gorgeous! Just pinned this... I'd definitely do a twin for Miss E's bed!
I'd like to do it in modern Christmas colors!
I would make it a lap quilt and use Kaffe Fassett fabrics. Thanks for the giveaway!!!!
Wow that is great. I think I would make it in a baby size with some solids maybe in the chevron and low in background. So cute.
not sure why you'd need a pattern, looks like a pretty easy quilt, cute quilt.
I would like a lap size for my couch and I would like it in black, grays, white and maybe a little yellow or red.

I would do queen size in rainbow!
I just love your quilts Lucy - they are so much fun and so well put together :-) And thanks Jess for creating such a brilliant pattern!
What a great pattern. I would make a lap size quilt from browns and tans for my nephew's new apartment. Thank you for sharing and the chance at the giveaway.
That is a stunning quilt. Visiting you from crazy mum quilts
I would make a lap size using Waterfront Park by Violet Craft, my current favorite (the starfruit/berry colorway). Thanks!

I would make a baby size version using a bunch of blues and greens for my new nephew.
I shared a link to your page and the giveaway details on my blog: http://www.patchworkbreeze.blogspot.com
I'd make a baby version. Have a ton of friends having little ones!
Honestly I think for this quilt to look good it needs to be large so I would make a Full/Queen in some Kona Solids or Michael Miller fabrics.
Actually I would make 2 quilts for my 2 little girls- it would be Michael Miller's fabrics in pink and green colors! Thanks for this great giveaway!
I have tweeted about this great giveaway:

This quilt is fabulous. I'd make it either as lap quilt or king size, and I'd use all rainbow colour from my stash because this is a great pattern to display all these gorgeous fabrics. Thanks for the chance!
i'd make a big'un too with my habitat stash!
Lovely quilt, I have shared via twitter. Thanks for the chance to win :-)
I'd make a queen size, and use lots of my stash in red, aqua, and grey. I've got lots of fabrics to choose from!
I tweeted about this post. My twitter name is @MtnQuiltr
I'd make a throw size with bright prints and solids.
I like to start mine with a baby size. Fabrics--- I have so many to choose from. I'd like to try a monochromatic version.
I will make a king size with light brown theme color. This will fit my room color. As for the king size will fit my husband height.
Thanks for giveaway!!
Love this quilt and the colours. Tweeted you x
That's great. Every time I see one of these chevron quilts I think I need to make one. I'm not a huge fan of the half-square triangle block, but this one definitely cuts down on the number of them while still being a wonderful quilt. Thanks for sharing and helping me find my inspiration.
Love the colors. I think a lap size quilt with sweet serenade from basic grey would look nice in my living room
I would make a lap size in a rainbow of floral fabrics... Kind of a modern watercolor quilt.
WOW!! This pattern is awesome!!!

I would go for a lap size and do in rainbow color - probably dots - for my daughter.
I think it would look great as a lap or a throw quilt
Well done Jess and well done Lucy! A great pattern for a siblings together quilt - so a twin or lap size I guess!
Fab quilt/pattern, I'd make a scrappy one in lap size and probably do like nicky said ST :)
In would like to make a large King size using civil war fabrics in all the golds and browns for my bed. Thanks for the chance to win. Mburnette912@bellsouth.net
Oh wow! LOVE THIS! Great job Lucy! Love the rainbow with the low-volume prints. And the binding just tops it all off. Great job friend!
